Re: [doc] Water temp switch

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

I know DeLores doesn't have a cat, and Backy has a free-flow exhaust so 
I'd imagine where it goes would be a lot cooler. Fans on cat-equipped 
cars tend to cut in sooner because of the heat generated just below the 
otterstat. Personally I wouldn't like to rely on a zip tie there, unless 
I had to, and if new replacements are available, why go for something 
different? BTW although they are identical in shape to the Metro, that 
one cuts in hotter. The ones we carry are listed as for Volvo 760 and 
Renault 30, and are identical in size and shape to the original one. I 
believe Rich also had a problem getting his to seal, but that's a hazy 
memory.
